The 30 Years of Manchester City Managers 1980-2010 Commemorative Coin Set.
February 25th, 2010YOU GET;
A free coin with every 30 litres of fuel and a nice cardboard thingy to mount them all in, with a genuine faux leather finish, which will extend to two feet in length in order to contain the full set.
The Mourhino coin will be the 'special' gold coloured one - larger than the rest which (if you're lucky enough to get one) will sit in the centre of your presentation board set in a radiant sun disc.
Collectors please note that the Alan Ball coin is prone to rapid tarnishing and the Steve Coppell coin keeps falling out of it's spot on the presentation board and is easy to lose.
The Stuart Pearce coin has a two-fingers emblem in place of the usual image at his own request, and the Bobby Manc coin has two extending hands on the edge in order to maintain it's hold on it's position.
addendum; The manufacturers are still awaiting the return of Mark Hughes from the Seychelles when his permission to be included will be sought. The latest approach by telephone contained only the sound of rolling waves and laughter.

SO WHAT NEXT?
I don't think we've gone forward or backwards under Mancini, there are signs of improvement in some areas but then there are signs of deterioration in others.
One thing is for sure, we are experiencing something that has never before happened in the history of football so there is no blueprint for success; Mourinho will be here in Summer but what if he fails, where do we go from there?
I think it was a member of the forum that said "Buying marquee players is just the cherry on a cake that we hadn't finished icing". He was of course correct; the thing is though that until we stop pissing about with marketing campaigns, global strategies and mood lighting and get on with producing effective football we'll get nowhere.
We're dicking around re-arranging the formation of the deckchairs when we really should be concentrating on not hitting the icebergs.
